| | | I think I've pretty much got my camera selection narrowed down to a Canon XSi, T1i, or (distant maybe) T2i. I've held several Canons and Nikons in stores, and the Canons just felt better in my hands. Any hints or suggestions to help narrow my search? Keep in mind I'll be new to the DSLR world, with the most advanced camera I've ever operated a shitty P&S. Something that is kinda n00b friendly would be a nice transition. I'd also like to stay around $500, but could go a little over if needed. EDIT: As for what I'll be shooting, abandoned buildings and drains for the most part. For non-UE, I'd love to do some shooting out in nature. Clouds, trees, animals, lightning, all that stuff sounds fun to take pictures of.

| | | the auto focus is rough, not fast enough for some of the shots, and only 9 AF point the burst rate, is also 3.5, whereas the 7D has a burst rate of 8fps, and 19 AF points. and i would be upgrading from 12.2mp ro 18mp. also my XSi only goes up to ISO 1600 and is extremely noisy that high, the 7D goes up to 6400 and expandable to 12800, and from what ive seen, the 7D at 12800 is less noisy then the XSi at 1600. as for glass, i think i could do without IS, i just need the extra aperture.. i have no issues with hand shake and such, and blurring is caused by movement... also, i have a tripod AND monopod... im just stuck at the question, new body, or new glass... they will both work wonders for me...

It's a great camera but heavy as hell. The 14-24 is a great combo but you may be pretty paranoid because of the exposed element depending on the kinds of places you are shooting (not to mention the cost of the camera as well). Keep in mind it will also limit your options for lens choices, so if you want something with a zoom you are most likely looking at a 14-24, 24-70 and possibly at 70-200 (although that's not all that useful for UE) But yes it delivers as expected.
| Sorry for the late reply to this. Ive already got lens choice sorted. 14-24 for now as most of the time I need to go wide anyway. The exposed element, yeah ok has its risks but if you are careful with your shit, nothing's really going to happen to it. I'll still be weary the first time I take it out in a drain though lol. 50mm prime as an every day shooter will call this body home next Then its a step up to a 24-70 then 70-200 but I agree for UE you'd hardly ever use it. I've got a 200 at the moment and its rare that Ive used it. Even rarer that I've shot over 150mm with it. Maybe somewhere down the line ill throw an 85mm prime on there too. A pricey kit. A heavy kit. But at the end of the day it will be a versatile kit and i know i wouldn't be needing to upgrade again any time soon.
